The Movement's Mission Statement
Believing that the current election laws set forth by the states of this country are arbitrary, undemocratic, and largely exclude third or alternative parties from the ballot, we seek to mount a political movement designed at forcing the states to ultimately change their election laws to allow any candidate who can collect five thousand signatures from registered voters for either a statewide or national elected office to be on the ballot with his political affiliation duly noted.
We recognize the need for current action so that we can achieve this goal. We seek to mount a volunteer effort aimed at collected signatures on the behalf of third and alternative party candidates for office, regardless of their political affiliation or creeds, so that the American voter may have the maximum number of choices available at the polls. We hold that this is beneficial and necessary to the democratic process, and that the current two party system is a tyranny that must be overturned by the effort of American voters and citizens to change the laws that govern our election process.
The Movement will work tirelessly to get any candidate from a third party or minor party who wishes to run for election the necessary amount of signatures so that he may comply with his or her state's election laws and be included on the ballot for the elected office he or she wishes to be elected to. We are ourselves non-partisan, issuing no judgement or endorsement of the respective candidates, but instead seeking only to increase democratic choices available to American voters.
We further seek to mount a protest movement aimed at raising the public awareness of the current undemocratic policies installed in state election laws by the two major political parties that are aimed at stifling third party participation and involvement in the electoral process. We believe that these policies and laws also limit voter choice and options, and as such we believe that they are undemocratic and must be overturned. We seek to raise voter awareness and public outrage so that the laws will be changed, and democracy will be upheld.
We condemn the current two party system and its election laws as undemocratic and tyrannical. We do not seek to end the two major political parties, but we do seek to curb their excessive power over the electoral process in order to prohibit them from undermining the democratic process further. We take no political or policy positions except those that are outlined explicitly in this statement. The political positions of individual members are never to be confused with mission of The Movement. They are separate.
Through protest, through tangible and effective actions, and through public debate, we seek to effect change in the election process aimed at increasing voter choice and ballot options.
